Services
Jungian Analysis
Jungian analysis explores unconscious patterns through dream interpretation and symbolic imagery. This long-term therapy addresses core psychological issues and supports personal transformation by integrating the conscious and unconscious mind. Ideal for clients seeking profound self-understanding and lasting behavioral change.
Trauma Recovery
Specialized trauma treatment combines Jungian techniques with evidence-based practices. We address PTSD, attachment wounds, and complex trauma through somatic awareness, dream work, and narrative reconstruction. Our approach emphasizes safety and gradual processing to restore emotional regulation and resilience.
Vocational Guidance
Vocational dream analysis uncovers innate potential and career purpose. By interpreting symbolic patterns in dreams and synchronicities, we help clients align professional paths with authentic calling. This service benefits individuals facing career transitions or existential uncertainty.
Sandplay Therapy
Sandplay therapy uses miniature figures and sand trays for non-verbal emotional expression. Particularly effective for children and trauma survivors, this hands-on approach accesses unconscious material safely. Clients create symbolic landscapes that reveal inner conflicts and facilitate natural healing processes.
Telehealth Sessions
Secure virtual sessions maintain therapeutic continuity for remote clients. Using encrypted platforms, we provide Jungian analysis and psychotherapy to individuals outside the Bay Area. This service ensures accessibility while maintaining the depth and quality of in-person therapeutic engagement.
